In depth

Verdict

Gerald Bennett is the meets leading trainer by some way and runs two in this with THE GODDESS LYSSA preferred to He’s Smokin Now. The unbeaten filly takes on the boys today having won easily in all three previous outings and looks the one to beat. Liberate was a progressive stakes winner as a two-year-old and returns to action having finished a long way in front of Wicked Warrior when scoring at Mahoning Valley back in October while Two Last Words also landed a stakes race last year but hasn’t raced since November. Frontier Mesa struggled in a claimer last time and looks up against it.
